"The electricity transmission network is designed with built-in redundancy to deliver world-class reliability and keep the lights on for customers. Capacity is typically available outside of peak events like hot summer days or cold winter storms, when there's high demand for cooling and heating,"
"That means, in many cases, there's room on the existing grid to connect new datacentres, if they can temporarily dial down energy usage during periods of peak demand."
"strategic investment"
National Grid is partnering with Emerald AI to trial the Emerald AI Conduction platform, which lets AI datacentres adjust power draw based on active workloads. National Grid Partners has made a strategic investment in Emerald AI as part of the collaboration. The live trial will use Nvidia GPUs to dynamically change energy consumption and demonstrate how diverse AI workloads can be tuned in real time. The approach aims to exploit existing grid capacity by having datacentres temporarily dial down usage during peak demand events. The trial will inform how to balance growing datacentre demand with transmission constraints.
